My euphorbia note of warning

lenticular
10 years ago

Very early this morning, as I was walking my dog, I passed a house with broken euphorbia branch, maybe four feet long, broken into pieces in the driveway. Lots of white latex on the cement and evident in the broken pieces as well.

I knew that the couple living there had at least two young children. If I was a kid, I would want to play with that white goo.

After I completed my walk, I dropped the dog at home, wrote a note warning that the 'sap' was caustic, and returned to leave it under a piece of the broken plant. There were some salvageable pieces of euphorbia and I may grab one if it is still there tomorrow.
